In addition to numerous cases of barring journalists from the battle zone, interfering with interviews and confiscating video equipment, Soviet-style military "censors" have also called up Russian journalists at home to "check their facts," he says. One Russian TV anchorman, Sergei Doryenko, says the anti-press forces "just want us to know that in a month or a year they might be back in power again. And the choice is ours...

Charles Kimbrough, who plays the painfully stiff anchorman Jim Dial on the TV sitcom Murphy Brown, makes this performance subtler and deeper and eschews the trademark grimaces of someone who has just smelled something foul. The action unfolds during a cocktail party where he meets, courts, wins and loses a woman (the incandescent Maureen Anderman) whom he knew three decades before. The youthful infatuation ended with her offering herself and his declining, not out of prudishness but from a lifelong premonition that something terrible was going to happen and from a courtly determination not to have anyone share his doom...
